Speaking of blowing money on pedals, introducing a rather optimistic seller on eBay.

I left the rider information out on purpose as it is a JOKE. As if a band of our stature should be forced to a) find some guy and then b) talk to some guy.

Soundcheck time, Primitive Calculator groupies, is 5pm.

I reckon they'll be on from 11.30pm-12.10am (though it says ''12.10pm'' here). I also reckon The Paul Kidney Experience will be on from 10.30pm-11.10pm and Adam Simmons vs Bryan Dywer (with guest Kris Wanders) will be on from 9.30pm-10.10pm.

Doors open at 9pm and it will cost $8, with bands taking a $3, $2, $1.50 split. The venue will shut at 5am and has a capacity of 250.

Bands will be presented through various Shure sm58s, Beta 57s and DIs running through a 16 channel Allen Heath Mix Wizard mixing console with Klark Teknix DN360 31-band equaliser and 4 x Pro Series Sony compressors to a 1500 watt three-way PA (Nexo PS15s with Camco amps) and 3 x foldback wedges (Quest,RCF) on two sends. Could be the best night ever!

'ComplicatED Meditation Class' surely. Shirley? Wipey?

Re long-running Aus music pranks, I was going to say ''MARCUS IS COMING!'' but then I realised it might just be confusing.

But where will I get my butter chicken with chips?

Innnnnnnteresting. Those 'Zero Zero's are great but I think I've got all the ones you've listed. Might have a crack at the Blab and Robert Crumb collection though.

Junk Journal for Jerks.

Done.

That's just a LITTLE bit patronising.

Ah, crap. I forgot all about the copy I put my name down for at the Old Bar exhibition. Have they all gone?
